Official 2019 Brooklyn Nets Offseason Thread

[MrDollarBills]

They make news but how many opposing arenas around the country are getting sell outs because the knicks are on town? merchandise sales? national TV games?

as soon as they are a playoff team, every single one. if KD joins the knicks they will get the most national games

The Knicks make news nationally 99% of the time because of their incompetent ownership, not because they're bringing a hot brand of basketball to the table.

that wouldnt be in the news if it was most teams. their fame makes it a national story

If Kevin Durant were to come to the Nets, the Nets absolutely would make national news. Hell, the Nets already started doing that this season without a superstar in place. What was the narrative about the Knicks?

you are 1000000000000000% missing the point. any team that wins or has a top 3 player will get attention. everyone knows that

but if he does it with the knicks it will be a bajillion times a bigger store, his fame will be bigger, his legend bigger. 1 title with the knicks would move his GOAT/myth more then 2-4 titles with the nets.

he would become a sport god winning with the knicks. with the nets he would just be another great player who won a title.

KD wants to be loved lol. Nets don't really have a fanbase. Their would be a bunch of front runner Nets fans and that wouldnt feel as real as winning with the Knicks.

On a Harlem night nearly eight years ago, on the court at the heart of New York basketball, Durant captured both, unbridled. He calls that one-time Rucker Park appearance "a burst of joy I haven't felt on the court before."

This type of love is what I think KD is searching for. Nobody would appreciate KD more than Knicks fans.

Oh look, a Knicks fan with an over exaggerated sense of importance.

You dudes wanted to run Carmelo out of town the moment things didn't go your way, but sure, KD will be wrapped in a warm blanket by you guys as he tries to carry the worst team in the league to the NBA finals.

This is what happens when someone decides to grossly overrate and gas up the importance of the Knicks within the NBA landscape, you leave the door wide open for clowns to start spewing propaganda. Outside of New York, no one cares about the Knicks

[MrDollarBills]

im monitoring the klay thompson situation closely, if GSW dosnt give him the max and he does choose to leave, id make a hard full max offer to him the first second its available. It isnt Kawhi or Durant but he is a perfect fit for this team, a 2-way player who can give you 25 a night and arguably one of the 3 greatest shooters of all time.

Dlo and Levert with Harris and Klay to space the floor and allen rim running would be super fun

You offer Klay the max without hesitation.

[kamaze]

this couldnt be more false. knicks make news nationally without even being good

But they still suck. What would you rather be a team that wins or an annual loser?

id rather win the title with the knicks when kyrie joins me and they trade for anthony davis

So you'd rather be a Knicks fan ok, btw they'll never win a championship they can't even make the playoffs. Go Nets!

Tell yourself whatever you want to make yourself to make yourself feel better lol. The KD and Melo situation is not comparable at all. The circumstances would be way different. Melo forced his way here and the front office tore that team up and did a horrible job building around Melo. Not to mention Amare couldnt stay healthy. Melo time here was up. He was doing no benefit staying.

Also Knicks are not the worst team in league lmao. Clearly were tanking and if we do get number one pick thats another story.

Also if people didnt care about Knicks they wouldnt be in headlines even even when they are mediocre. Imagine when they are a contender. You must havent traveled much. Knicks fanbase is huge and New Yorkers are everywhere. Itll feel like home games when Knicks play on the road.

Klay's my favorite player but they need help up front way more than they need a great shooting guard. Who would set those screens to get him open? I like Big Jay but he's too light in the butt as of now.
If by some way somehow Klay decided to leave a dynasty for money (not gonna happen) and come to Brooklyn they'd still be weak in the front court. Marks will probably go after a power forward first spend that money on suring up the bigs that's where they need to improve first.

That is until they don't. He could easily become Melo if he can't get out of the ECF. Knicks fans are rough and they expect to win a ring if he comes. If he can't deliver he'd get crushed by the scrutiny. The pay off could be huge but lets not pretend it doesn't come with massive risk. It's not all sunshine and rainbows because if it was more players would sign with them.

but odds are he would win one over the next 4 years. he is already one of the more hateed guys/critcized guys. its worth the risk, especially since im sure he believe he could win there

You would run that lineup out there? We'd get killed inside with no PF. Fun no doubt but not sure that is a contending team.

yes... i dont care if we get "killed" by teams that play a bigger PF. good luck having your big PF chase klay around screens and hitting threes. while oyu back down and take hook shots.

Allen crabbe played PF for us, so did graham, so did carroll, so did dudley. thompson is as big/taller then all of them and a better defender then all of them and that big PF needs to chace klay on the other end all over the floor.

KD and Melo is exactly the same. Melo was expected to come in and take the Knicks to the championship. The second fans realized he couldn't do it they turned on him. If KD and doesn't win they will turn on him probably even faster then they did with Melo. At least Melo had excuses because Amare couldn't stay healthy and the rest of his team sucked. KD will have 0 excuses and if he doesn't win Knicks fans will crush him.

As for the tanking thing you really think your team was better but lost on purpose. Yeah those young guys fighting for the NBA careers lost on purpose so they could help the Knicks draft stock, LOL ok bro. They just suck, time to be honest with yourself.

Not totally against it but dudley, Graham, Carroll had some girth to them to body up at least and we still got crushed inside. It would be a mismatch offensively for us I get that but it's a little risky. I'd at least hope we can find a 6'8"+ who can rebound a little to man the PF spot but it would be fun to watch no doubt.

If your going to heap the praise for winning on his back like it's something legendary with the Knicks you better believe the backlash is equally as unforgiving. You think he get criticized now you better believe it's 10x worse with the Knicks. For a guy looking to be liked you better know you can win because you can take the easy road and sign in LAC or BK and be liked. You win 1-2 to there you aren't legendary like the Knicks but you certainly can find a way into the goat category with 5-6 rings and at least one where you lead your our squad without risking being run out of NY if Kryie can't stay healthy and you don't land ZIon.

We'll know more in about a week. I think Zion plays a big impact on KD's decision, not make or break but Zion really helps make it easier for him to sign there.

Also Knicks were clearly tanking. They were fully capable of winning more games but we didn't play vets because we wanted to get the young guys experience. Not saying a playoff team but its pretty obvious they were tanking if you would see some Of Fizdales late game substitutions.

lol @ a 17 win team not being the worst team in the league. okay buddy.

the circumstances aren't much different at all. If the Knicks don't become one of the top 4 teams in the league if Durant comes there, yall will turn on him just like you did Melo because Knick fans have a sense of entitlement that is not only weird considering that the team has been one of the league's worst run franchises over the last 20 years, but irrational.

When was the last time Knick fans had home games on the road outside of the New York/Philadelphia area? You think yall are going into Toronto, Boston, Indiana, or Milwaukee drowning out their fans? Lol alright.

Whats yall obsession with Melo. He is clearly a cancer as you can see with his last runs with OKC and Houston. Also Mad Knicks fans in Atlanta and Florida lol. Look it up. New Yorkers are everywhere. I been to Yankees games in Florida and it felt like I was in The Bronx.

Knicks are not the Yankees. Yankees had a player's name chanted in Fenway. What Knicks franchise player has had that type of reception anywhere outside of MSG? Lin doesn't count as you guys bounced him that same offseason.

Where did I say Melo was better? It has nothing to do with who is better it's the same situation though. Melo and KD were both supposed to be superstars to help the Knicks win, once the winning didn't happen with Melo the fans hated him. Same thing will happen if KD doesn't win.

As for tanking yeah you played young guys I get that but these are the guys KD is supposed to play with and win with. These are the guys you are selling to him as teammates as complementary pieces around him and maybe Kyrie. Right now they are equivalent to the worst roster in the game, young or not, that is not a strong selling point to work with.

Doesn't change the fact that Knicks are currently the worst team in the league, and have the least talent in the league on their roster. Tanking doesn't make it any better when you share the same chance of getting #1 pick as some other teams

Are you suggesting he will goto the Nets?
